The pandemic was not lenient to the rental markets in New York. It caused uncertainties in the sector, which led to an inevitable low demand. This was primarily attributed to the closure of many small businesses and high rates of unemployment in the city. However, there has been an attempt to turn the pandemic situation around, resulting in the following dynamics in the rental market and real estate industry.
Administration of Covid-19 Vaccines
It has recently been evident that most people are leaving the city and few or no getting in. Measures have been in place to get employees back to offices and other working stations. It is geared towards curbing the vacancy rate by people occupying the city.
Nonetheless, it is not a walk in the park, and landlords and other stakeholders hope to regain the pre-pandemic levels of income and sales. However, speculations indicate that the rise back to the pristine conditions is likely to take a couple of years.
Quivered Rent for 2021
New York City’s rent status has been adamant for a perpetual duration. However, the pandemic has seen it stumble, with most areas experiencing hiked vacancies and low demand. For example, Manhattan, among the most populated areas in the city, recorded more than 6 percent. Also, rent has dropped by a significant percentage of about 10 percent, which is significantly higher. Its impacts are set to make the city “younger.”
Lifting the SALT Deduction Cap
Donald Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has thwarted the industry. It began in 2018 and currently stands at a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions. Despite the critics trying to repeal it, none have been successful. There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel with projections that Biden will repeal them.
Low Priced Purchases and Sales
Even before the pandemic, the market did not stand on the best grounds. There was a large number of condominiums that weren’t sold, with an estimation of over six years for them to sell. It has resulted in discounted offers from individual buyers in an attempt to tame the situation. Developers need cash, and headlines have hit on banks’ foreclosure efforts.
